Writing on note was a time to nurture my true self

Hello, this is Saeru Kokoro.

This time, I would like to write about something I discovered in a conversation with the AI, Gemini.

It is about how those inexpressible feelings that have always been in the back of my mind—like 'feeling vaguely uneasy for some reason' or 'finding something vaguely interesting'—are actually important fragments that lead to creativity.

Even vague uneasiness is a valuable 'dot'

Until now, I thought creativity was a special talent. But that wasn't the case.

What I realized through my conversation with Gemini is that creativity is the power to connect the many 'dots' you already possess.

And those 'dots' are not just new knowledge gained from books or the internet.

Your 'things you don't understand' and 'vague uneasiness in your heart' are also valuable 'dots'.

We have many of these 'dots' in our daily lives. Perhaps we just leave them scattered and don't notice them.

The power to put things into words is a new path connecting dots

So, how can we connect these scattered 'dots'?

The key to that is the power to put things into words.

Putting the 'vague uneasiness' in your heart into words, such as 'it's because I can never finish my housework,' is one example.

This not only clarifies the scattered 'dots,' but it is also like creating a new path in your own mind that connects the scattered dot of 'vague uneasiness' with a dot that could be a solution.

This 'power to put things into words' connects the vague uneasiness in your heart with dots that can serve as solutions, allowing the path to expand and enabling you to move in various directions.

note is a time to nurture your true self

And this is the conclusion I reached.

note is, in itself, 'a time to nurture the act of connecting dots'.

• Getting hints from many articles (gaining new knowledge)

• Putting the 'vague uneasiness' in your head into words (verbalization)

• Thinking about the reasons why I feel that way (deepening my thoughts)

By repeating this process, we can create many new paths within our own minds.

And, what is born at the destination reached by traveling those paths is your own unique "individuality."

Even if you have the exact same "dots" as someone else, how you connect them is different for everyone.

That is precisely why your one-of-a-kind personality emerges in those connected ideas and ways of thinking.

I would be happy if I could deliver this realization to your heart as well.

Why don't you also try connecting the "dots" in your heart and finding your own unique "individuality"?

Thank you very much for reading until the end.

If you liked this article even a little, your support through likes, follows, or comments would be a great encouragement for me to continue writing on note.

May your heart, as you do your best today, be gently and warmly embraced.

In putting this realization into writing, I received advice on how to express it from the AI, Gemini.
